The meanderings of a newish mom and other randomness

Picture This

Last week I posted about the woes of potty training babygirl in the spirit of all things potty, imagine if you will my excitement (complete and utter sarcasm here) when I walked in baby girl’s room to find that she had pottied in her “big girl panties” while surrounded by her toys and I was left with the task of sanitizing each. and. every. one. However, something amazing did come of it, the vibrant colors of all the toys struck me as a totally photo worthy moment.

My sister in her big sister sort of way let me know that I totally slacked off in the 100 Happy Days challenge. I kind of totally forgot about it. She had perfect timing though as I’m actively working everyday on being consistent. So I’m picking up right where I left off which is at day 21.

Day 21: Babygirl’s water weekend in the Hamptons. She got to work on her swimming skills…and her tan!

Day 22: Scenery. How often do we pay attention to the scenery in our everyday routine? I don’t think I ever realized the beauty in my city’s bridges. I have traffic to thank for this moment lol.

Day 23: As I mentioned I’ve been working on being consistent in all aspects of life ESPECIALLY in working out. Here’s a screenshot from my Nike App that served as confirmation of not only my consistency but that I’m improving.

Day 24: All I have to say is Green Tea Frappe mmmmmmm!

Day 25: I have had this Polar workout watch for about 2 years now and no matter how much I work out I always get the same message at the end of the week “Incomplete Training Week”. I got so used to seeing it that I truly thought that it was the watch’s way of pushing me harder. Until this day when I was shocked as sh*t.

Day 26: Mr. Grumps’ birthday ❤

Day 27: Love: just me and my Grumps #teamus

Day 28: I don’t even try to fool myself into looking for signs that I’m losing weight, I just have faith in one day putting on a pair of pants and they fall completely off, until that day I won’t gas myself. This particular day though I happened to look in the mirror as I was walking by and was kinda taken aback that I could actually see IT.

Day 31: I’m experiencing the only hair struggle this summer. With all the sweat from working out, the ponytails, the coloring to cover my grays (whites) and the summer heat it’s literally a hot mess. So I started taking Biotin so my hair can get back to its normal healthy state. Biotin a girl’s best friend!

Day 32: Babygirl got her first tattoo. And she’s obsessed, I hope I didn’t create a tattoo monster (you know, like me lol )

Yesterday my family got together for “family day” at Rockland Lake State Park.
It was a beautiful day, not too hot, sunny clear blue skies, plenty of food, laughs and love. As I sat basking in the glow of the gorgeousness of the day I took this picture that summed it all up.
